Hi Chloe, if you are asking about storing them, this is what we recommend: Leftover cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Hope this helps!
I followed the recipe apart from vanilla that I didn’t have and reduced the honey by 50g because I thought it was a lot. The result were super dry cookies. I don’t know if the reduction of honey is the reason for the dryness, but I won’t make these again.
I’m sorry to hear you had trouble with the recipe, Emily. We recommend using the full amount of ingredients to get the flavor and texture intended. Hope this helps!
Hi Tricia, most of my cookie recipes are soft and chewy but there are ways to make them have a more crisp like texture. Spread them out thinly and bake for a minute or two longer. First cookies that comes to mind are these granola cookies: https://www.wellplated.com/granola-cookies/ and these flourless peanut butter cookies: https://www.wellplated.com/healthy-peanut-butter-cookies/ Hope this helps!
Love this recipe. I usually swap brown sugar for honey and vegetable oil for butter as my wife is allergic to dairy. These are quick and easy to make and not quite as unhealthy as regular cookies. Good way to sneak some fiber in too!
Thankful I only made 1/2 of this recipe to try. I ended up adding the whole eggplus more apple sauce & more honey. That helped to moisten the half of flour & oats.
The end result just doesn’t have the flavor.
Will eat for breakfast but sorry not again.
Made these last night – overall a good cookie!!
Good flavor but on the drier side and a bit on the dense side but a flavorful cookie
Need more moisture but otherwise a tasty healthy cookie!
Thank you!
hi!! new to baking, so i apologize if my question is slightly dumb ;;
is the cinnamon and apple sauce required in this recipe? I looked online and saw that you can substitute apple sauce for mashed bananas, so would that work instead? also, can this recipe use all purpose flower instead of wheat flower?
Hi Koko, applesauce yes but you could try it with banana it is just not something I’ve tested. You can leave the cinnamon out and all-purpose flour works great in place of the white whole wheat flour. Enjoy!
Awesome!!! Baked in 2 batches…10 mins and 9 mins on 2nd batch. 9 mins was perfect!! I rolled leftover dough into balls and froze them for later! Thanks Erin, great recipe!
Hi Lori, yes, you’ll bake at the same temperature 350 degrees. Timing is what might get modified once they are frozen but I will still check at the 9 to 10 minute mark. Hope this helps!
I was really excited to try a new recipe. Mine came out really dry. And kind of fell apart. I am open to suggestions on how to rectify this. Other than that the flavor was great. Not too sweet.
Hi Mary, I’m so sorry to hear you had that issue with the cookies. A few questions so we can troubleshoot. How many cookies did you get out of the batch? There should be 24. Looking at the photo, they look slightly bigger than my cookies, so I would try and make them a little smaller. Did you flatten them in Step 7? Yours looks a little fuller than mine did. If you watch the video, at the 35 second mark you’ll see the batter and how moist and should be sticky before adding in the chocolate chips. Was the texture of your mixture like that? Also I would check them at the 8 minute mark and see if they are done? My oven my run cooler than yours so it may have taken longer for mine to cook. Hope this helps!
Wow! These are amazing cookies. Plus, I feel better because they have a bit less of “everything not so good for you” – white flour, white sugar, and fat. I did change the recipe slightly. I didn’t have any applesauce so I used mashed organic banana and I added coconut. I did add an extra 1/2 cup of oatmeal as well. I like them hearty! I baked them at 350 in a convection oven for 12-13 minutes so they are a bit crisper on the edges and lovely soft on the inside. A really great cookie – thank you for the recipe!!
Hi Val, I recommend quick oats for this recipe, as they yield a more tender cookie. You can use regular rolled oats, but they will have a heartier consistency. Hope you enjoy them!
Hi Lakshmi, I’ve only tested the recipe as written so it would be hard for me to say for sure. If you decide to experiment with it, let me know how it goes! Hope you enjoy it!
Can I not refrigerate it?
Hi Chloe, if you are asking about storing them, this is what we recommend: Leftover cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Hope this helps!

Why would you NOT do the recipe correctly then give a bad review? I give you ONE STAR for not following directions!!
Hi I tried the recipe and was ok but preferred something more crispy. Any other healthy recipes like this that produces crispier cookies?
Thanks

Delicious and great texture! Will definitely remake and share.
Thank you Kerry!
Can I use Brown sugar instead of honey?
Hi Susan! I haven’t tried it myself but other readers have with success. Enjoy!

I’m sorry to hear, Janet. This recipe wouldn’t work well cut in half, in my opinion and that might of been the problem with the end result.
Made these last night – overall a good cookie!!
Good flavor but on the drier side and a bit on the dense side but a flavorful cookie
Need more moisture but otherwise a tasty healthy cookie!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed them, Ann Marie!
This recipe is amazing! I have made it two times already. Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you so much for sharing, BK!

I made these with 1/4 cup of honey, white chocolate chips, craisins and walnuts and they are excellent!
So glad to hear, Val! Thank you!
I love this recipe so much, i did it like 5 times! i used milk instead of the apple sauce and it turned out perfect :)!
So glad to hear, deekay! Thank you!
wonderful recipe I totally recommend
Thank you Laura!

So glad to hear, Lori! Thank you!
The cookies are delish! My question is I froze some of the raw cookie dough. Can I bake from frozen on 350?
Hi Lori, yes, you’ll bake at the same temperature 350 degrees. Timing is what might get modified once they are frozen but I will still check at the 9 to 10 minute mark. Hope this helps!
Thank you, Erin!

I’m glad I tried it!
Thank you!
can you use old fashion rolled oats instead?
Hi Val, I recommend quick oats for this recipe, as they yield a more tender cookie. You can use regular rolled oats, but they will have a heartier consistency. Hope you enjoy them!
Can I use buckwheat flour instead of wheat flour?
